Fanbase Press Announces The Sequels Trade Paperback Foreword by Andre Gower (The Monster Squad) and Cover Reveal
LOS ANGELES, CA – April 15, 2019 – Fanbase Press is thrilled to announce that the up-coming trade paperback of its four-issue series, The Sequels, will feature a foreword written by Andre Gower (The Monster Squad, Wolfman’s Got Nards – A Documentary). The team is also revealing the brand new trade paperback cover, featuring the com-bined artwork of series cover artist Don Aguillo and interior artists/colorists Val Halvor-son and Bobby Timony!
The Sequels is a creator-owned series that – in the height of ‘80s nostalgia – dares to question whether our grasp on the past is endangering our future. It is written by Norm Harper (Eisner Award-nominated Rikki, The Naughty List) illustrated and colored by Val Halvorson and Harvey Award-nominated Bobby Timony (The Night Owls, The Simpsons), flatted by Deanna Poppe, lettered by Oceano Ransford (A Geek’s Guide to Cross-Stitch, Eisner Award-nominated Rikki), and features cover art by Don Aguillo (Rise, Winter, Isugid Pinoy!).
“We’re extremely honored to have Andre’s contribution to the collected trade paper-back,” says Fanbase Press President Bryant Dillon. “Given the thoughtful examination of nostalgia in The Sequels, Andre’s unique perspective and incredible impact to our collec-tive nostalgia for the ‘80s make his contribution truly special.”
Series Synopsis:
Remember the ‘80s? Avery, Gwen, Russell, and Dakota will never forget. As children, they each experienced unique adventures . . . saving the life of a sentient robot, partying with an intergalactic alien, battling the likes of vampires and werewolves, and defeating a nightmarish monster to protect imagination itself. Now, 30 years later, they’re direc-tionless adults, still obsessed with their pasts. When a mysterious figure brings the group together to cope with their experiences, will they be prepared to live out the “sequels” to their childhood adventures?
Issues #1-4 of the comic book series are being released digitally through ComiXology, and the series’ collected trade paperback will be released on July 22, 2019. The Sequels trade paperback is currently available for pre-order at www.TheSequelsComic.com and through the Fanbase Press website (www.fanbasepress.com). Pre-orders made by May 1, 2019, will receive an exclusive set of prints (representing each of the four covers) illus-trated by Don Aguillo and signed by the entire creative team.

Through interviews with the cast, crew, screenwriters, directors, academics, and original reviewers, as well as through never-before-seen footage, it turns the lens on an audience of self-proclaimed misfits who have kept The Monster Squad alive for more than thirty years.
